WHEREAS, the County Clerk’s Office currently collects $15.00 for the first copy and $8.00 for each additional copy of a vital record issued by that office; and

 

WHEREAS, as the result of a fee study conducted by Maximus in 2002, the Board of Commissioners established the percent of the cost of providing the services which should be recovered by such fees, referred to in this process as a “target percent”; and

 

WHEREAS, it has been determined that the fee for a first copy of a vital record issued by the County Clerk’s Office should be increased in order to meet the target percent.

 

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, the fee for the first copy of a vital record issued by the County Clerk’s Office shall increase to $17.00 and the fee for additional copies issued at the same time as the initial copy will remain at $8.00 per copy.

 

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that this fee increase shall become effective on Monday, March 2, 2009.

 

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Controller/Administrator is authorized to make the necessary budget adjustments required as a result of this resolution.
